I will forgive you the first time you tell me that you are sorry... after the second or third time you tell me you are sorry... I start to wonder weather or not you will ever learn your lesson!!!
by IAM on October 11th, 2008
Only once if the apology was sincere and the offence does not happen over and over again.
by Bsweet. on September 11th, 2008
once if i know its meant. If ive heard it all before though and nothing changes then no matter how many times i hear thier sorry will make a difference.:)
by j ninja... on September 30th, 2008
If there sincere only once.
by LoggyBren on September 30th, 2008
One time.
by Daniel on September 30th, 2008
Once if they mean it. If they don't mean it, it doesn't matter how many times they repeat it, it's noise.
by vera city on November 19th, 2008
don't tell me you're sorry, show me you're sorry. once
by suKwaR on November 19th, 2008
Well if its truthfull then I only need to hear it once. Otherwisea thousand million times would still not be enough.
by Sosueme on September 28th, 2008
Just once. Do it again, I won't accept it.
by Dmitri on September 28th, 2008
Once is enough, though with my attention span, they might have to say it again. :)
by rgx on January 3rd, 2009
depends how many times you hear it, it can become just a word without meaning as things go back to how they were before. it should only be once if the person really thought as much of you as they say they do, but unfortunately this isn`t always the case
by nOrm03 on December 29th, 2008
When the person look me in the eye and say it and actually mean it. I'll know when they really mean it too.
by DWreck on December 28th, 2008
Sometimes "I'm Sorry" just doesn't cut it. Sometimes the wrong can not be righted by two words. Just like you've probably heard a thousand times before, "Actions Speak Louder Than Words." And they do. Personally, I have to see some changes being made, and see the correction of such actions that require an apology before I accept that the person really is sorry.
by samareene on November 19th, 2008
It depends on the thing to forgive. Otherwise, once, if the apology really seems sincere.
by JuJubee is wearing a COAT of chocolate on November 8th, 2008
As long as it is said with sincerity, I don't need to hear it more than once!
by 10binary on September 11th, 2008
Just once if they really mean it. People never apologize when they really hurt me.
by saffyanne on September 4th, 2008
Just once. You forgive them every time they make a mistake, even if they make a thousand a day.
by rere on September 4th, 2008
If I've heard it too many times, that's when I stop wanting to accept it.
by Koz - Passion Perseverance Patience on September 4th, 2008
Just once if they mean it.
by CaptainHarley adores his life penguin on December 28th, 2008
Once, unless it happens repeatedly, in which case I will tell the individual, as kindly as possibe, to STOP apologizing. : )
by Anon on December 28th, 2008
Very few times. I've usually made a decision prior as to whether I will accept it or not anyway.
by Rahbar on December 29th, 2008
equal to 1.
by Yahoo Answers Is A Fraud on December 29th, 2008
Once.
by Secretive on December 28th, 2008
When I stop feeling bad and forgotten about it.
by Anonymous on December 28th, 2008
Depends on what happened.
by roserose100 on November 19th, 2008
If it's a genuine one, right away! (unless if it would involve cheating. No matter how genuine you are, you'll be out of there!)
by Ms.A on November 19th, 2008
Trivial things,once, if at all.Bigger things,sorry with an explanation works like a charm.
by - M.C.S. - Dave on November 19th, 2008
Once.
by Ecclesiastes on November 19th, 2008
I can't read minds and talk is cheap. Those words will never be accepted all on their own.
.
by Wisdom on November 19th, 2008
Once if that person really mean it. I almost never say sorry, I never regreted things so ‘sorry’ is still really important for me.
by The Wraith of God is Coming on November 19th, 2008
Never it is an excuse for unacceptable behavior and is abused like a Clinton Presidential Pardon. Screw me over well that is it your dead to me.
by Over and Out on November 27th, 2008
Sometimes people say "I'm sorry" all the time instead of fixing the problem .. that's when I stop accepting it.
by MOB on July 12th, 2009
1 strike your out. For me at least. I shouldn't have to hear that.
by LdyBg4N on November 19th, 2008
If it is sincere then only once.
by alwayscurious on April 17th, 2009
Once. But I don't like if it isn't genuine. One can often tell when it's not a genuine sorry.
by pocaengel on October 6th, 2009
well usually, i wait a little after, and let them explain themselves.
i like to listen to what they say first. and if i don't like the sound of how its going to end up..i don't accept it easily.
but thats just me :P
by Ms Pretty Eyes on November 1st, 2009
Apologies get old, if you hear them enough. You start not to accept them from certain people who have reoccurring things to be sorry for.
by _bRiTtAnY_ on November 4th, 2009
it depends on how many time they mess up before i can believe them again........
by AnonymousGirl on November 1st, 2009
It depends on the person who is saying it as well as how much I believe him or her.
by greeneyes on April 17th, 2009
just kidding with the i dont know part. it just depends on who the person is and if you want to accept it. but me i really dont like when people say well oh im sorry it just really gets on my nerves.
by greeneyes on April 17th, 2009
idont know
by Lord Knows on February 13th, 2009
Once - if after then they repeat their mistake - the initial "I'm sorry" never meant anything
by hellz angel on February 13th, 2009
until i 'feel' the sorry... sometimez thy neednt evn tel it... n sometimez evn a dozen of thm also makes no difurence... peace!!!
by anddeb on February 13th, 2009
Once, twice means they are trying to convience you and their selves that they are sorry.
by DudeLer 2 on February 13th, 2009
saying one is sorry is not enough. one has to follow that i am sorry with the statement that they will change and it will not happen again. and if does happen again, sorry wont be enough to erase the failure...the will have to be consequences attached. kids feel they can just say they are sorry and get off...but that is not the case with me...i want to hear more.
by greeneyes on April 17th, 2009
i usually dont accept it unless the person really means it and say they do. i get tired of people saying oh im sorry when they dont mean it
by Thelynne on February 13th, 2009
It depends on what the "im sorry" is about.
by boredgal88 on November 19th, 2008
Until you believe them.
by Suebee74 on September 11th, 2008
It's not about quanity...It's ALL about the quality...
by Anonymous on September 11th, 2008
Just once if I think they mean it.

What promise(s) have you failed to keep? (Is there a story attached to the promise and/or why you couldn't keep it?)
